Summary of the contracting process

Derbyshire County Council procured a cloud-hosted legal case management system and associated services for its legal operations. The requirement covers the supply of software and information systems, rather than physical goods or construction work. Delivery is for the council in Derbyshire, within the East Midlands. The system is intended to support the management of legal cases through a hosted cloud service, with related services forming part of the requirement. The buying organisation is Derbyshire County Council, based at County Hall in Matlock. The procurement is categorised as goods because it concerns the supply of a software system, although the associated services will also be important to successful delivery and ongoing use.

This procurement has been completed and awarded. Derbyshire County Council used the Crown Commercial Service G-Cloud 14 framework (RM1557.14), with the award made to Iken Business Ltd on 20 July 2026. The awarded value is £289,124. The contract runs from 20 August 2026 to 19 August 2029. The tender submission deadline was 30 April 2026 at 23:59. The tender had an estimated value of £289,124 and was marked suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The award is active and covers the full requirement. The procurement used the framework’s stated route rather than a conventional open tender, and the published outcome identifies one selected supplier.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement from Derbyshire County Council for a specialist cloud-based legal case management platform and supporting services. Competitors targeting a future requirement of this type would need a mature hosted system capable of supporting legal case workflows, secure access to case information and reliable day-to-day operation for a public-sector legal service. They would also need to show that they can supply the software together with implementation, support and other associated services, rather than offering a standalone product. The successful supplier was an SME, and the procurement was identified as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises. Credibility would therefore depend on demonstrable product capability, relevant delivery experience and the capacity to support the council throughout a multi-year service period.
